Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) to Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator
This calculator allows you to easily convert pressure values from Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) to Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg), commonly used in meteorology, medical equipment, and low-pressure scientific applications.
Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)
The Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) is a unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by a 1-millimeter column of water at 4°C. It is typically used for measuring low-pressure differences in systems such as HVAC, water distribution, and other low-pressure industrial applications.
Definition: Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)
The Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a 1-millimeter column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. It is frequently used in barometry, medical fields (e.g., blood pressure measurement), and vacuum systems.
Formula for mmWC to mmHg Conversion:
Pressure in mmHg=Pressure in mmWC×0.0735559
How to Convert mmWC to mmHg: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 500 mmWC.
To convert it to mmHg:
500×0.0735559=36.77795 mmHg
So, 500 mmWC is equal to 36.78 mmHg.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for mmWC to mmHg
